- Exploitation: helps operators/developers to communicate better and to co-develop using the shared model

Moreover, the model is “scalable”, i.e. buildings can be added once they have been digitized and their BIM created, regardless of their origin. We aim to create an extensive virtual database of built urban heritage.

WHAT IS BIM?

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an intelligent digital 3D model-based process to more efficiently design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure from earliest conception to demolition. The results of this process are BIM models, the digital modelling of every aspect of the construction.

These files contain information including specifications, technical information, manuals, photos, maintenance data, etc. Data can be extracted and shared to support decision-making, management and facilitating future development of a building or other existing asset.
